Our centres host a variety of groups, classes and types of support, with people from all backgrounds, cultures and walks of life. Groups and schedules vary week to week, so check in with your local centre for the latest information.

As well as our existing programs, we also support people looking to make new groups or run new activities. If you’re interested in coordinating an existing group, or would like to talk more about starting a new initiative, we’d love to hear from you.
